Answer:

  • The standard form of a chemical element is the natural mixture of several isotopes of the same element, which is atoms with the same number of protons but different number of neutrons, while an isotope is a particular kind of atom with a definite number of neutrons.

Explanation:

A <em>chemical element</em> is a pure substance formed by atoms with the same atomic number (number of protons). This is because it is the number of protons what identifies an element.

For example: oxygen is a chemical element, so oxygen is formed by only atoms of oxygen, and the atomic number of those atoms is 8, because every oxygen atom has 8 protons.

Nevertheless, some atoms of oxygen, may have different number of neutrons. Isotopes are different kind of atoms of the same element, which only differ in the number of neutrons. So, some atoms of oxygen will have 8 neutrons, other 9 neutrons, and other 10 neutrons (those are the stable isotopes of oxygen).

That difference in neutrons, is generally accepted that, does not modifiy substantially the chemical properties of the element, but the mass number. So, the isotopes with more neutrons wil be heavier, and the isotopes with less neutrons will be lighter.

  • Mass number = number of protons + number of neutrons.

In general a chemical element is formed by a mixutre of isotopes of the same element.

What happens to a line when the y-intercept is changed? Check all that apply.
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

As the y-intercept increases, the graph of the line shifts up;

As the y-intercept decreases, the graph of the line shifts down

Explanation:

There are two ways to think about this problem. The first way would be the graphical approach:

  • if we only change the y-intercept, this means we keep the same slope;
  • y-axis is the vertical axis;
  • if we change the point at which the line crosses the y-axis, we either shift it upward for a higher y-intercept or downward for a lower y-intercept.

Now, thinking algebraically, a line has the following equation in a general form:

y = mx + b

The y-intercept is essentially obtained when x = 0, then:

y = b:

  • if we increase b value, the y value increases, so the graph shifts upward;
  • if we decrease b value, the y value decreases, so the graph shifts downward.

Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes. The most common, magnesium-24, accounts for nearly 80% of the magnesium found
Hitman42 [59]

Answer : There are mainly three isotopes of magnesium found in nature; namely Mg-24, Mg-25 and Mg-26. Out of which Mg-24 has 12 neutrons, Mg-25 has 13 neutrons and Mg-26 has 14 neutrons in their atoms. The number of protons and their atomic masses remains the same for the atom. The relative abundance in nature differs for all the three isotopes. Mg-24 has abundance nearly 80% in nature, Mg-25 has abundance as 10% and Mg-26 has 11.01% abundance.
